What happens when you stop bending to other people’s expectations and start honoring your own?
Meet Marilynn Larkin - a 76-year-old journalist, health communicator, certified fitness professional, and the fierce founder of Get UnBent Now.
Marilynn is living proof that aging doesn’t mean slowing down or playing small. In fact, she just competed in her second bodybuilding competition (yes, really!). In this episode, we dive into:
✨ Dissolving the inner scripts that keep us stuck
✨ Why perfectionism is overrated - and how to ditch it
✨ Dynamic posture and reclaiming your physical presence
✨ Facing a cancer diagnosis with clarity, courage, and choice
✨ Saying no to stereotypes and yes to strength, at any age
Whether you're dancing with reinvention or simply sensing there’s more waiting for you, this conversation will remind you: it’s never too late to be the boldest version of yourself.
